Chelsea have been trailing Spurs’ £30m-rated midfielder all summer and the 25-year-old Croatian wants to leave White Hart Lane, preferably for Stamford Bridge.

Modric, who was made captain for Spurs’ friendly against Orlando Pirates in South Africa last night, has also hit out at Spurs chairman Daniel Levy, claiming the pair had a gentleman’s agreement that he would be allowed to leave if a bigger club came in.

Terry said: “He’s a world-class player who is very difficult to play against. He’s very agile, very quickand a great finisher like we’ve seen over many years.
